A Mexican would not know how to
live without his blanket, which is ut once
his cloak by day and his bed clothing by
night. 50 that he is prepared wherever
darkness may overtake him. or course
the winter nights are cold. but in the
summer time. under the bright starry
heavens. the blanket makes good enough
bed. The Mexican carts are certainly
objects Of a good deal Of curiosity. the
wheels being in some instances made Of
solid blocks of wood. which have been
chopped out with an AK. The bodies OF
these carts are rudely formed, but when
uprigh,s are properly placed, and good
covering is thrown over, they are quite
comfortable. The people carry their pro,
visions along when travelling, and with n
keg of water are able TO cook their meals
almost any place along the road. They
can do with very little, and are frugal
beyond any conccption.-Chihuahua,

A Strange Religious Sect.

One of the strangest Of religious sects
is that which calls itself The New and
Latter House Of Israel. Its headquarters
is in Chatham, England, in which town
its devotees are building an immense
temple which will cost $3.50, 900. They
believe that they will not die and that
they are the remnant Of true Israelites
who will reign with Christ for thou
sand years. Their founder was a man
named Jezriel, who is now dead. His
death was a great shock TO the believers,
but his wife claimed that il was an acci-
dent and claimed herself 10 be his sue.

The apprentice learns his trade by
what he can see or by what advice the
foreman or journeyman is good natured
enough 10 give him. It is a system OF
chance that does not count for much In
the long run. The remedy for this evil is
to be found in the trade schools, where
the boy is to be taught before it is sought
to make any money through him. Pro-
fessional men learn their professions at
their own expense and are the better for
it; SO it will be with the mechanic. No
modification of the old apprentice law is
desirable. In these schools the lad learns
to use the tools and signs of the trade,
then he goes to the shop as an apprentice,
where speed is acquired, and becomes q
mechanic. Trade schools have become Q
necessity in the competition between ma
tons in Europe. They have become
popular, and experience shows how rap
idly boys learn in them. By the las
census there were 10000 mechanics in
the building trade in New York; of thes,
less than $4,000 were of American birth
and but small portion were born in New
York. - Building.

A Bit of Advice

Happiness is Q mosaic formed from
many small stones, and these are found
and set in beauty by the hand Of love
love in little things, loving words, loving
acts, and a large part Of this work is in
the home, where the greatest portion Of
our time and the best should be spent.
Live this year for wife and husband and
children, and let selfish pleasure take q
back seat. Keep unspoken the quick re-
tort, the fretful complaining, the angry
word, for life is too short for such cruel
blows. and then the scar never heals,
though you may bathe it with bitter
tears.-Rev. DIR. Kittredge.

You stopped and kissed me as you took your

The dull despair, the heavy, aching heart
When we were parted not no meet again,
And worse than distance kept us far apart
Have you forgot'

The love that glowed within your grave, calm

And wonder can that strong deep love BE- dead

An old and experienced railroad en-
gineer says it is not true that the ems
glneers and conductors of the country
propose to unite and ask congress to pass
a law licensing engineers and conductors,
He says he has heard that move was on
foot to have congress do something to the
end that conductors be licensed and plac-
ing certain restrictions and conditions,
thus preventing the young men, inexper-
fenced fsvorites. handling trains, but the
engineers are not in the thing at all.
Their brotherhood is their protection,
and they need no legislative enactment.
The rules of their union or brotherhood
are stronger and more practical than any
law that congress might enact, and young
inexperienced men are hardly ever trusted
with an engine. To man an engine 6
man must fire until he is considered COM
petent, and it he is not reliable and care
full he will never get one. The gentle
man claimed that accidents where tn
engineer is at fault are few-not one on
of ten. 1t is usually the conductor whC
gives the orders. Were it not for tn
engineer often refusing to go. accident
would be more numerous.

The first lev blast of winter came this

point and shivering to death at that.
Frost appeared on the windows for the
first time this season, and to one whom
necessity drove out of doors, the atmos-
phere was decidedly remindful of the APP
proach of winter.
The wind has been blowing great gales
all day, making it difficult for street cars
to make their trips, as well as for the
ferry.
The mild season of 1887 may now be
said to have been shelved for future re-
ference. In spite of all the predictions
of all the prophets. and despite the signs
which all fail proverbially during dry
weather, the amount of rain which is
not falling by far exceeds the amount
which is falling. A dry spring WAS fol-
lowed by dryer summer. and that dry
summer has been followed bv a very dry
fall thus far That fall has little over
month yet to live and there is nothing
in present indications to lead one to think
we are going to have any great amount
of moisture before the ground freezes,
and if there should be a final freeze-up
in its present state it is not difficult to
conceive of the suffering it is likely tc
= entail. 1t has been many. many month";
since enough rain fell to soak the GROUND
and to fll the cisterns, and the rivers ant
creeks are as low now as they were eve
known to be in the middle of the hot

AN ELABORATE AFFAIR.

A Fashionable Event Gwen at the
Weyerhauser Mansion Last Even
inx..-Those Present from Abroad.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Weyerhauser threw
open the doors of their mansion on the
Elm street bluffs last evening to scene
of gaiety such as has not graced the fash
ionable circles of the three cities before
in many years. The Misses Lizzie. Mag
gle and Ionic Weyerhauser assisted IN
the receiving aud entertaining of the
guests to the number of three hundred,
who called during the reception hours,
which were from to 0 and s to II. The
mansion was brilliantly Illuminated from
foundation to roof, and was gorgeously
decorated with flowers and foliage with
in. The entire first and second floors
were thrown open to the guests OF the
evening. None of the conventional stiff
ness which usually attaches to formal re-
ceptions was apparent. This was re-
lieved by the hospitable manner in which
the guests were received. 1t was a hap,
by event in every sense of the word.
From the hour the reception commenced
until midnight, carriages were constantly
rolling up 10 the mansion. and others de-
parting.
The music was one of the most pleas
ing features. 1t was furnished by Schil-
| hnger's orchestra, of Davenport, and was
| of the most praiseworthy order. The
cuisine, which had been prepared by
Prof. Pfau. the French cook and artist,
was the most elaborate, perhaps, that has
ever been served in Rock Island. Such
richness and variety has not been com
bined at a feast here before. Terrell and
his experienced corps of assistant cater
ers officiated.
Among those present from elsewhere
besides the large number from Davenport
and Moline, were Miss Emma Lamb, OF
Clinton; Miss Annie Musser. of Mus
ca,ine; Miss Ella Wade. of Muscatine
and Mr.. Dixon, of Clinton.

PART ..
SOCIAL HAPPENINGS.

One of the most pleasant parties given on
the East side this season took place Friday
evening, when some sixty friends of MISS
Abbie Gormely surprised her at her home on
Second street northeast. The party met at
the home of Miss Nellie Mccarthy and pro-
ceeded from there to Miss Gormelys AL
though taken completely by surprise Miss
Gormely was fully equal to the occasion, aud
in few moments the large company was
comfortably Installed. Dancing was the order
of the evening, and 1t was long after mid
night when the party broke up. Refresh
ments were served about IL o'clock. The
orginators of the party were Miss Mollie Nc
Carthy Miss Mamie Kennedy and Miss Aggie,
and it was due to their careful management
that no hitch occurred in the whole proceed
ing.
The Tam OShauter club held its weekly
meeting Friday evening at 21S South Eighth
street. II. S. Robbins gave a reading from
1.-THE Sioux Chiefs Daughter by Joaquin
Miller; X. j. Nesbitt read an essay on Ire
land-Its Evils, Their Causes and Cure" The
essay proved to be very interesting, and the
discussion was more than interesting. Nor
man Verge recited Longfelow's Bridge, -
and ]. L. Provln sang "By Killarney's Lakes
and Falls" After the programme had been
finished MIR. and Mrs. William Stevenson
served an elaborate lunch.
A pleasant matrimonial event was the mar
riage of Miss Carrie NJ. Swan and Thornton
